Help Us Support Our Troops! |
We are excited to announce that we are once again collecting much-needed items for deployed troops overseas. The organization is called Keystone Military Families and the project is Stockings for Soldiers. This project allows us to collect donations to provide holiday stockings for troops overseas. Wilson High School student, Anthony Fiore, is the Youth Ambassador for Keystone Military Families. This is Anthony’s eighth year organizing the collection.
Donations can be brought to any Wilson school building by Friday, December 2. A special community collection, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania State Police, will take place on Tuesday, December 6 from 7:30 am- 8:15 am in front of the High School building (main entrance on Grandview Blvd).

National School Psychology Week |
|
During the week of November 7-11, 2022 schools throughout the United States will celebrate National School Psychology Week (NSPW) to highlight the important work school psychologists and other educators do to help all students thrive.
This year's theme is "Together We Shine" which is derived from how we see hope after several challenging years. We have all faced difficulties created by the pandemic, social injustice and inequity, economic stress, and challenges to mental and physical health. Reconnecting with others and re-establishing the sense of being valued as part of a greater whole empowers students and adults to find purpose and possibility.
Our team of School Psychologists is extremely well-equipped in supporting students who may struggle to find their connection within the academic or social contexts of our school buildings, but the knowledge and expertise that they bring to the district can sometimes be overlooked or underappreciated. Please take a moment this week to join me in showing our appreciation and gratitude for their contribution to our Wilson School Community. To learn more about National School Psychology Week 2022, click on the following link.
